lalaskal 's review for:
The Counselors
by Jessica Goodman
The beginning was strong and bonded me to Goldie and her best friends at camp. Once the mystery began the story stalled for a good portion which is when my interest began to wane. The aftermath of a character hitting a pedestrian while driving was inaccurately portrayed, especially since it was in the middle of the night during a snowstorm when the pedestrian was drunk. I was hit by a car on a sunny day and heard horror stories from my lawyer regarding other pedestrians being at fault and never the driver, so this also bumped down my interest.
I loved the bond between Goldie and her friends which I felt was the highlight. The mystery aspect was definitely lacking due to Goldie not really solving anything and only jumping to conclusions. I wish the story had focused more on the camp atmosphere as Goldie and her friends were counselors instead of only highlighting conversations between the girls in between activities and when they go into town to party. The mystery was also pushed back to focus on the drama between Goldie and her friends which was another thing I wish were different.
Thank you, Edelweiss for an ARC.
